Parental Controls
Whether you give yourself the option to choose who you are, instead of just defaulting to how you were raised.
Alex Cooper and the Fearful Attachment Cycle
Parental Controls is directly at stake here. Alex Cooper's entire episode is built around what happens when the rules installed in childhood — love is dangerous, closeness equals pain, chaos means home — keep running as the operating defaults into adulthood. The fearfully attached person hasn't yet given themselves the option to choose who they want to be; they're still defaulting to what they were wired to expect. The shift she describes — 'I refuse to let you control my future' — is the moment someone starts overriding those inherited defaults.
